Fenwick agrees to settle lawsuit over law firm’s alleged role in FTX fraud
FTX users filed the lawsuit in 2023, accusing the law firm of playing “a key and crucial role” in “how the FTX fraud was accomplished.”
FTX users and Fenwick & West have reached a proposed settlement in a 2023 lawsuit alleging that the law firm helped carry out the fraud that led to the crypto exchange’s collapse three years ago.
Fenwick and lawyers representing FTX users said in a joint filing with a Florida federal court on Friday that they plan to submit the proposed settlement to the court for approval on Feb. 27.
The filing did not disclose the specific terms of the settlement, but both parties asked the court to pause all deadlines and pending motions in the class-action lawsuit ahead of the settlement filing.
